Is a medium who claims to see a million years into the past necessarily more capable?

We cannot judge spiritual ability simply by how distant a time someone describes. First understand what clues their perception follows and whether anything remains that can be investigated or compared. Describing an image and confirming it are different matters.

In my encounters with past-life work, the discussion usually concerns a few centuries. Reaching back a thousand years already seems impressive to me. I have encountered cases spanning tens of thousands of years less often and have not particularly researched them. So when someone claims to perceive Mars a million years ago, I first raise questions about the subject.

In my understanding, spiritual perception requires a thread with which to connect. When the person or object is still present, it is easier to trace back through remaining impressions. After an extremely long time, the original things may have disappeared, making connection and investigation more difficult.

Furthermore, even if someone truly sees a scene, it is difficult to establish its accuracy when things from a million years ago no longer exist. If the account is right, there may be nothing to prove it; if wrong, there may likewise be no way to discover that. This is precisely my concern. A large number and distant date alone are not reasons to believe immediately.
